AirPhil Express flies to GenSan soon!

First, it was only Philippine Airlines doing the GenSan-Manila-GenSan route since time immemorial. A few years back, Air Philippines came into the picture followed by Cebu Pacific. Then when Air Philippines went into restructuring itself and rested, Cebu Pacific upped its exposure, offering two flights to and from Manila daily!

That makes it three flights out of GenSan to Manila and back up to now.

But when October 20, 2011 comes, make that FOUR FLIGHTS because the rejuvenated Air Philippines, now known as AirPhil Express will be back!

So effective that day, AirPhil Express will fly to General Santos City to Manila everyday at 5:15am and will arrive in GenSan at 7:00am. The flight back to Manila will be at 7:30 and its arrival there will be at 9:15am!

Right now, the official AIRPHIL EXPRESS WEBSITE is accepting advanced bookins for the Manila-GenSan-Manila route at P1,864 per pax.

Although quite pricey compared to Cebu Pacific, it comes with a 15-kilogram baggage allowance!

With this development, expect the plane fares for the Manila-GenSan-Manila route to settle at their lowest soon! That of course should make every South Central Mindanao frequent flyer very, very happy!

Yeah masyadong maaga talaga. But on the contrary to those who have business meetings, trials in court, emergencies, etc. this is really good news for them. Sana mag open pa ang Airphil Express nang ibang routes that were not serve by PAL & Cebu Pac as what I have suggested in my previous comments in the other week.

Welcome back again Airphil Express to GenSan and wishing you all the success!

@kako choco, I am certain that as soon as AirPhil Express resumes its flights to GenSan, the PISO FARE promo and other fare discount offerings will soon be a reality for their airlines. Watch out for it!

ey bariles, actually right now gensan has 3 CEB flights to mla and vice versa. i don’t know if this is just their provisioning for summer, but if this wil continue then we hav a total of 5 daliy flights to mla from gsc and vice versa (including pal) come this october when airphil express starts its operation. the 3rd daily flight of ceb to mla from gsc is at 5:10pm. it’s a dream come true for me. to my surprise, i just learned it today and was amazed. pero bitin padin, sana ginawa nalang nilang kahit 7pm man lng.. hehek..

but i can’t really find justice to the 40 million initial funding for the suppose renovation of our airport facility. i frequent dvo airport. just this year i took a pal flight from our airport to mla and was expecting sumhow it’s better but it was a very big disappointment. do u happen to know if the 81 million aditional funding from dotc wil stil be cuming?

As competition is rising amongst the major airlines in the Philippines, Air Philippines is making their way to get to the top. This airline is now offering a travel deal year round. They are giving away cheap airplane tickets and cool discount promos for all travellers who will fly on their local and international flights.
